Think Academy Middle School System Overview: Bridging the Gap
The stark gap between the slow-paced American middle school math curriculum jumping up into a more difficult and fast-paced high school math curriculum often leaves students feeling that “it’s too late” for them to excel in math.
Think Academy breaks the traditional boundary between middle school and high school, tailoring the learning process to the specific goals of each student.
Think Academy is responsible for students’ learning. Our long-term students’ AP scores, SAT scores, and cumulative GPA will all reach the highest level. This is our top priority!
The 5th grade is the best grade to take the step from comprehensive elementary-style mathematics to subject based middle school style mathematics. Think Academy’s 5th grade spring will cover the entire learning contents of what would normally be covered between 6th-8th grades under the Common Core, laying a solid foundation for subject based learning in middle school.
Personalized System: Our system prioritizes teaching students in accordance with their individual skill level in terms of both depth and pace.
Interactive Teaching Platform: The instant interaction and personalized feedback that our face-to-face live broadcast offers guarantees the best learning outcomes for your child.
Small class size: In small classes of no more than 16 students, one teacher serves one class.
Satisfaction Guarantee: If you are not satisfied after the first class, you will be refunded in full. Flexibility: If there is a time conflict with your child’s course, you can change classes or transfer time slots at any time throughout the semester.
A Snapshot of the American Education System
A comparison of education systems in four countries around the world immediately show flaws in American education system. In total, the American Education system:
- Lacks consistent system-wide progress indicators and phased goals which leads to an insurmountable cliff-like rise in high school difficulty and pressure for most students
- Has large learning gaps between middle school and high school and then between high school and the level of difficulty of AP exams
- Inefficient learning caused by repetitive teaching and the lack of challenging curricula for top students
